Anderson, Philip, Smith, McGregor, McRae, MorrisonSeeking information on any members of these families: Alexander Anderson m. Isabella Morrison - Dec. 1835 (I believe she was previously married to William Maitland.) Their son: Alexander Anderson, b. August 1837 in Aberdeen, married Ann Smith, b. appx. 1838 in Aberdeen. (Ann's parents were William Smith and Ann McRae.) Their son, Alexander L. Anderson, b. 1861 in Aberdeen, married Elizabeth Philip/Phillips b. 1862, Aberdeen. (Elizabeth is the daughter of George Philip and Elizabeth McGregor.) Alexander and Elizabeth Anderson were married in 1887 in Aberdeen, then emigrated to Barre, VT, USA later that year. One of their sons, George Kinnie Philip Anderson (Midge), b. 1903 in Barre, VT, USA is my grandfather. He married Vena Leonard in Barre, VT in 1925 and they had three children, Alton, Norma Elizabeth (my mother) and Myrna. I am interested in any information regarding these people or relatives of theirs either in the US or Scotland. I know there are many relatives of these people who remained in Scotland. A relative in the US had names and addresses many years ago when he thought he would be going to Scotland, but threw them away when he learned he wouldn't making the trip and all names and locations of relatives still in Scotland were then lost.
Thank you.

Helen Smith or McKay Looking for any details of my grandmother Helen Smith. We think she was born in 1897 but cannot find a birth certificate despite several visits to Edinburgh. On her marriage certificate (she wed John McKay in 1922 in Aberdeen) she states that she was a bottle washer and her parents were Isabella Wilson and George Smith both of whom were deceased. We cannot find a marriage for Isabella or George. She went on to have several children with John (including my mother Ann Allan McKay who sadly died in 2013) and she died in the City Hospital, Aberdeen in 1938 aged 40 years after giving birth to baby George who died six weeks after her.My mum was two at the time. We have been searching for a date of birth for Helen (or Nell) for many years now to no avail. The family lived in Albion Street and were very poor. Helen never spoke about her parents or any siblings to her children and none of them knew when she was born or where she came from. Her only surviving child is now 85 and would love to know where her mother came from. After Helen's death in 1938 John went on to marry Lizzie McHardy and had three children to her. He died when my mum was 9. He was a labourer at Hall Russell's Shipyard. Any information would be welcome.

GLENNY, Rachel and GAULD, James, late c18-early c19, Aberdeen. Trying desperately to find the parents of the above named people, as these are the furthest I can get. They had a son Edgar. He married MORGAN, Isabella. They had a son also called Edgar. He married OGG, Catherine, and had a son George Ogg Gauld, who had a son Leslie Robert George Gauld.
I can't get anywhere more than GAULD, James and GLENNY, Rachel, however.
Hoping somebody could help?
Cheers!

sisters Jean and Lizzie McKenzie trying to trace above McKenzie sisters who lived in Summerfield Terrace Aberdeen city and worked in the King Street Post Office nearby. Other family names may have been John and Isabella. Do not have dates of residence. Could have been anytime from early 1900's onwards.

Leslie Robert George Gauld 1907- 18th November 1954. Hello, I currently am searching information concerning Leslie Robert George Gauld, who originally came from Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. He moved to Sutton in England , which was then Surrey but would now come under London since the LGA1963, which incorporated Kingston, Sutton, Bromley, Croydon, Bexley, Hounslow, Redbridge, etc. Whilst there he married an Irishwoman named Mary (Maesie) Curtin, and they had Georgina and Robert (Robert was 9th November 1952 in The Worcester Park region of Sutton). Leslie died not that long later- 18th November 1954, and thus I have not got much more details about him at all, as Grandmother remarried a man called Galliers and took that name, and this new man raised Georgina and Robert instead. Mary died on 11th July 2013 in Sutton, London, England.
Robert married a Lesley Heather Twitchett and Georgina married a man with the name OBrien.
Humph.
I was wondering whether anybody could either provide or point me in the general direction towards acquiring details about Leslie's parents and ancestry and heritage etc.
Thank you in advance.
-Oliver.

William Grant born 1898I am trying to find information on my grandfather, William Grant, born November 20, 1898, Old Machar, Aberdeen who immigrated to the USA approx 1910. His mother's name was Euphemia (not sure of her maiden name). I do not have William's father's first name or any dates related to the family EXCEPT on Euphemia's gravestone in Fairfield, Connecticut, USA which puts her birth year as 1866. She later married a John Naughton AFTER the death of her husband, William Grant's father. In the 1910 census USA it shows Euphemia, a daughter Sarah, and a son William (my grandfather).
So I am trying to find out Euphemia's maiden name, William Grant's father's first name...and any info on Sarah.
ANY info on the family would be helpful....I know William Grant is a common Scottish name but i am determined to learn his history.

Mary Scott AndersonLooking for descendants of Mary Scott Anderson born to Alexander Anderson and Susan Smith on the 28th June 1888 in the Old Machar or St Nicholas area of Aberdeen.

Margaret PirieWhat became of Margaret Pirie, a hospital nurse and single mother? She gave up her son William Pirie after his birth at 12 Whitehall Road, Aberdeen (not a family home). Date of birth - 24 Oct 1915. My father was renamed in his foster home, but not registered as adopted until 1950. He became very successful, both in WW2 and after, and is now deceased. I know who his biological father was, and their relationship was good. I know that it was probably his mother who daily watched him in the playground at Gilcomston School in Aberdeen, but never said a single word. It must have been heartbreaking. So I need to trace my biological grandmother and the family I hope she managed to have. I have over 1000 names in the family tree, but my biological grandmother has eluded me. Can you help please?

Findlay - looking for familyTrying to locate family. Grandfather was Alexander Findlay born October 8, 1890. His parents were William and Jane (Blackie) Findlay. My grand father had siblings William, James, Andrew and Isabella. He Married my Grandmother Annie May Leith when she came over into NY while he was serving in WW1.
Would love to find family

McLeodHi, I have finally got round to looking at the 1911 census, and have found out that my great grandparents had 2 children that died. I know about one of them and that he was buried in St Peters cemetary in Aberdeen, but I am having trouble finding out the name of the other child. I have been on deceasedonline, and checked between 1902 and 1911 for names that have appeared in the family before, but have had no luck. Has anyone got any ideas as to where I can go from here? The surname I am looking for is McLeod, and the parents names were John Garland McLeod and Catherine Cowie McLeod (nee Farquharson).
My great grandparents married in 1902, but their marriage certificate says their usual address was Links Street, Aberdeen, but by the 1911 census they were in Albion Street. Their first child was born 9 months afterwards in York Street! Even when another of their children was born in 1910 they were still in York Street , and obviously moved after April 1910. I do know that my gg granddad was buried in St Peters (and his wife remarried and moved to Canada), along with his mother and some other person! My great grandparents died in Clydebank and Johnstone.
If anyone has any ideas as to how I can find out the name of the child I would be grateful as I am banging my head against a brick wall at the moment! Thank you!
